&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.sliceonbroadway.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.sidekickmediaservices.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Sidekick Media Services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p&gt;Chatting the tech news of the week with Cynthia Closkey from Shift Collaborative! &lt;/p&gt;





&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cynthia chats like &lt;a href="https://www.mmhmm.app/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;mmHmm to make your web meetings more like SNL Weekend Update &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We dive into collaborative tools like &lt;a href="https://www.mural.co/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Mural.Co&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chilla tells us about his &lt;a href="https://shop.ring.com/pages/smart-lighting" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ring outdoor lights to systematically light his yard&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sorg watched &lt;a href="https://www.pcgamer.com/watch-henry-cavill-build-a-pc-very-seductively/?fbclid=IwAR1JJMSyljm4s73OD_cbaFJWoTFptjL80rvXd0nJliy84F1oc15adI7GEjY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Henry Cavill (Superman!!) build a PC&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Pittsburgh's Port Authority launches&lt;a href="https://nextpittsburgh.com/latest-news/room2ride-lets-you-find-out-how-full-your-bus-is-before-you-ride-and-more-safety-measures-from-port-authority/?fbclid=IwAR3i1-EDWEy-Gq1cAXOoeidW6uroTLBqT8SRA18nhJoFGJEpYmVUfk6Lj0c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; Room2Ride to help judge when to use public transit &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://Byte.co" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Byte&lt;/a&gt; could be a good Tik Tok alternative if it gets banned. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We talk about the updates coming adding &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/project-xcloud-xbox-game-pass-ultimate-september-133054541.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Microsoft XCloud to Xbox Game Pass&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href="https://www.thurrott.com/games/xbox/237996/microsoft-has-stopped-selling-one-year-xbox-live-gold-subscriptions" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;passing of the 12 month Xbox Gold Subscription&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/15/21325542/zoom-dten-me-tablet-video-calls-webcam-home-remote-work" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Zoom announces a $599 touchscreen device for remote workers&lt;/a&gt; and we consider some very real applications despite cheaper options by Google, Facebook, and Amazon. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://kotaku.com/microsofts-new-flight-simulator-comes-on-ten-discs-1844397452" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Microsoft's New Flight Simulator Comes On TEN DISCS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

https://youtu.be/soBbme3L7wY
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;





&lt;p&gt;After the show remember to:&lt;/p&gt;





&lt;p&gt;Eat at Slice on Broadway (&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Pgh_Slice" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;@Pgh_Slice&lt;/a&gt;) if you are in the Pittsburgh area! It is Awesome!

&lt;p&gt;Katie, Krause, Chilla, and Sorg continue to practice social distancing with some tech upgrades hitting this week's episode as they're talking about:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Katie is checking in with her Awesome Thing of the Week - - her &lt;a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-20-in-40-Volt-Brushless-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Battery-Walk-Behind-Push-Lawn-Mower-6-0-Ah-Battery-Charger-Included-RY401110-Y/311084745" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;new Ryobi lawnmower&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Krause is sharing &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe_y6KKvS3PdIfb9q9pGug" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Some Good News&lt;/a&gt; as his Awesome Thing of the Week.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Chilla has been making some updates to his home office to accommodate working from home.  He's sharing his &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HBQSCM3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;psc=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;new gamechanger device&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Sorg's Awesome Thing of the Week is &lt;a href="https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Xbox Game Pass&lt;/a&gt;, which he's been checking out a little bit with some of his free time.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're checking out some &lt;a href="https://www.apple.com/today/feature/today-at-home/?fbclid=IwAR1Rilb2hs-2ePJM6SnCVf6JZc_wW4pT_zUHSkLDKIiLFwUa1DIo4GqPqbE" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Today at Apple&lt;/a&gt; options to learn things while in quarantine.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;We're talking some &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/F7E71A07-C9EB-4793-8632-B33542360EDB?ingress=3&amp;amp;visitId=c5892b77-ca5d-4612-92d2-45cec4538653%5C" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Xbox All Access options&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/14/google-is-lowering-nest-camera-quality-to-conserve-internet-resources/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Google Nest&lt;/a&gt; is lowering camera quality to conserve internet resources.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After the show remember to:&lt;/p&gt;
